SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes Earth’s approximate rates of rotation and revolution? Earth’s rotation rate is 15 degrees per hour and it revolution rate is 1 degree per day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earth revolves in orbit around the sun in 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes with reference to the stars, at a speed ranging from 29.29 to 30.29 km/s. The 6 hours, 9 minutes adds up to about an extra day every fourth year, which is designated a leap year, with the extra day added as February 29th.

Detailed explanation-3: -All these bodies revolve around the sun. In addition, all planets kept their own rotating motion, including Earth. Earth rotates around its axis at a rate of about 1, 600 kilometers (1, 000 miles) an hour.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth revolves around the Sun at a rate of about 67, 000 miles per hour (107, 000 km/hr or nearly 30 km/s). At the same time, Earth rotates around its axis at about 1, 000 miles per hour (460 m/s or 1, 600 km/hr). However, this speed varies because different points on Earth cover various distances within 24 hours.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which statement about Earth’s rotation and its revolution is correct? It takes Earth longer to rotate on its axis than revolve around the Sun.

Detailed explanation-6: -The Earth rotates 360 degrees on its axis every 24 hours. Perhaps you might look at it like it takes a day to full a complete circle. The Earth rotates 15 degrees an hour, split into an hourly rate (360/24).
